Getting Started This Bosscom DAB+/FM/WiFi tuner has been re-designed for operation in a Bang & Olufsen remote control system, allowing full control with a Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal either directly or via connection to Bang & Olufsen equipment. Thus the tuner is BeoLink compatible.
If the Bang & Olufsen system comprises one or more link rooms in a BeoLink System, sound may be distributed to these rooms, and in some cases – see below – the tuner might even be controlled from there. Operation details described below require correct connection of the tuner to the Bang & Olufsen system. When initially powered up the DabWiFi2 tuner is programmed to be switched on by pressing or on the Bang & Olufsen remote. In most cases though reprogramming shall be carried out during this initial installation. See the Installation Manual. Hereafter the daily operation shall – in most cases - be limited to selecting a pre-set favorite program. The Bosscom DabWiFi2 tuner is supplied with a DataLink cable enabling connection to most Bang & Olufsen radios. But some system configurations require an adaptor as shown later in this manual and explained in detail in the Installation Manual.

Troubleshooting If experiencing trouble with the tuner visit the help section on : www.wifiRadio-frontier.com. If experiencing trouble connecting to a wireless network the following steps might resolve the problem: 1. Check that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet using the same network. 2. Check that a DHCP server is available or that a static IP address has been configured on the tuner. A static IP address on the tuner may be configured by using the menu ‘System setting -> Network ->Manual settings-> Wireless’ and the selecting ‘DHCP disable’. 3. Check that the access point does not prohibit connection to particular MAC addresses. The tuner’s MAC address may be viewed by using the menu ‘System setting -> Network -> View settings-> MAC address’. 4. With an encrypted network the correct key or password has to be entered into the tuner. Remember that the text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, the tuner displays ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, ensure that the correct password has been entered. If the problem persists, a check of the network configuration might be needed. 5. If the tuner connects to the network successfully but cannot play certain stations the reasons might be: a. The station is not broadcasting at this time of day, as it might be located in a different time zone. b. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners. c. The station is not broadcasting anymore. d. The link on the tuner is out of date. e. The Internet connection between the server and the tuner is slow. They are often countries apart! 6. If the station can be played via a PC use the form at www.wifiRadio-frontier.com for notification enabling a change of the station data used by the tuner.

DabWiFi2 is equipped with a 7 pin DIN DataLink cable for connection to Bang & Olufsen equipment. Thus an adaptor cable is required for connection to equipment not having a DIN input socket. See below examples and the Option Programming section in the installation manual.
